DRW Final Round Interview - Trading Analyst

Hi guys,

I have been invited to a DRW final round interview in London for trading analyst. I realise there are a fair few people on here who have been through this process. So I have some questions.

1.What was the outline of the day? 2. What questions were you asked? 3. How should I best prepare?

I appreciate all the help!

I was at the Chicago superday and got an offer.

1) We had two days, first day was touring the firm, meeting different desks, mock trading, q&a with traders and partners, and a dinner. Second day was morning to afternoon back-to-back interviews as well as a written quantitative test (they allowed us to use computers for that).

2) Standard trading interview questions, probability, and anything that you list on your resume you should be expected to know inside and out.

3) Heard on the street & practical guide should help you...also practice mental math (trader test is good for that).
